The guidelines for this assignment were to photograph a scene under challenging lighting conditions (other than direct sunlight) and use a digital gray card or equivalent spectrally neutral target to "click balance" or preset your white balance for the scene. I encouraged people to post a "before" and "after" image showing their white balance adjustments, and I have included the "before" and "after" images in the post below so you can see the differences.
